Charles III gold 8 Escudos 1761 LM-JM AU55 NGC, Lima mint, KM68, Onza-673 (Very Rare). Only a two-year bust type, and possibly one of the most charming of Charles III's reign, seen here with a clear prevalence of red-wine color over the surfaces that reveals hints of sky blue in places--an anomaly for this typically tone-free issue. Pleasing to find without serious flaws, and only very lightly circulated.
